Visitandines of Brooklyn Reflect the World

New York City is an ethnically diverse city. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world as well.

Our Monastery in Brooklyn tends to reflect the diversity of our city in its Sisters.

Our 16 Sisters either descend from, or are immigrants from, the cultures of the nations of : Armenia, Austria, Colombia, England, French Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden, and  Trinidad.

So far!

Currently we are giving hospitality to two Vietnamese Sisters from another congregation.

We invite young women of  Vietnamese ancestry as well to make a retreat with us! Chúng tôi mời các phụ nữ di sản Việt Nam để cầu nguyện với chúng tôi tại tu viện.

All  are welcome to pray or discern their vocation in the oasis of prayer that is the Brooklyn Visitation Monastery.
